...Hallyu began roughly 12 years ago when the rest of Asia discovered Korean soap operas. One of the breakthrough dramas was a series 'Winter Sonata' starring Choi Ji-woo & Bae Young-Joon. After that, more Korean dramas saw their way to foreign shores and Korean films and music started to follow suit. Korean marketing people started to see a Korea-centric trend.

At the shooting site of KBS 2TV’s Love Rain, which took place on the afternoon of April 27 nearby Hongik University, Jang revealed that he likes to stay at home longer than he did before.

Jang states, “Previously during nights, I liked meeting people or go for a ride, but I stay home even in my free time nowadays. I had some break time during my activities in Japan as well. I am having some time to reflect on myself and it feels as if I’m going through puberty once again.”

He added, “Expectations are high about my next action because I did so well in Japan. People from Japan call me, ‘amazing Keun’ and they ask me why I am not as popular in Korea. I am upset when I hear that. I’m twenty-six, still young. I try not to care too much about it because I can be popular at times and sometimes not.”

Jang will release his album in Japan on May, and start his Asia Tour in July.
